Lyric

You came in with sugar on your sleeve

And a grin that never means what it seems

I had a house with a candy roof

Till you leaned in and told the truth

Your hands were sugar

Your eyes were smoke

You stirred my cup

Then cracked a joke

Now every clock in the room slows down

When you come close and turn around

Oh, I should know better

But I don’t, I don’t

You spin me softly

Then you leave me cold

One little answer

One little clue

That’s how it starts

With me and you

Peppermint Blues for Two

Peppermint Blues for Two

Sweet on the tongue

Then it turns on you

Peppermint Blues for Two

Peppermint Blues for Two

We kiss the bite

And we call it true

There’s a gumdrop moon in a paper sky

And a gingerbread road where the liars lie

You laugh like a bell with a crack in the rim

I fall for the shape of your every whim

You keep a thorn

In a velvet glove

Then you ask me, baby

If that’s enough

I say, "Pour me another

Let the room go dim"

’Cause trouble looks lovely

When it walks like him

Oh, I should know better

But I don’t, I don’t

You spin me softly

Then you leave me cold

One little whisper

One little sign

You take your half

And I take mine

Peppermint Blues for Two

Peppermint Blues for Two

Sweet on the tongue

Then it turns on you

Peppermint Blues for Two

Peppermint Blues for Two

We kiss the bite

And we call it true

In the backroom mirror

I see your grin

Half a saint

Half a sin

If the spell breaks clean

Let it break slow

I’d rather taste the ache

Than never know

Peppermint Blues for Two

Peppermint Blues for Two

Sweet on the tongue

Then it turns on you

Peppermint Blues for Two

Peppermint Blues for Two

We kiss the bite

And we call it true

Peppermint Blues for Two

Peppermint Blues for Two

One for me

And one for you
